Snow Removal Survey Results

 

In October 2023, the Littleton DDA began a pilot program for snow removal services throughout the downtown core along Main Street and Alamo Avenue. Consolidated Services Group (CSG) rendered snow removal services with a 0" tolerance, meaning crews began removal at the first sign of precipitation and continued service throughout the storms.

 

Due to the success of the pilot program, the DDA continued its snow removal services throughout the winter and spring months, expanding the program to include cross streets within the snow removal area.

 

We recently conducted a stakeholder survey to determine how the snow removal services impacted property and business owners in our downtown district, and the responses indicated the following:

CSG Cleaning & Maintenance Services

The Littleton DDA is guided by its Plan of Development, which provides a road map for potential future investments in physical improvements, maintenance, programs and services for the betterment of downtown to be implemented by the DDA.

 

The plan identifies five primary themes of improvement for downtown that were established based on feedback from stakeholders. One of the themes is centered around cleanliness and safety.

 

 

Implementation of this theme resulted in hiring Consolidated Services Group (CSG) to provide monthly cleaning and maintenance services throughout the downtown district. As we continue our contracted services with CSG, we'll evaluate the impact these services have on our downtown community.

Last Chance – Take the Littleton Business Survey

The City of Littleton would love to hear your perspective on topics such as operating a business in Littleton, problems and challenges facing Littleton businesses, and businesses’ relationships with city government.

The business survey will remain open until July 8th and the results will be presented to City Council in September.

City Council Adopts “Horizon 27” Strategic Plan

The City of Littleton has a new strategic plan, Horizon 2027, that will guide city priorities and development through the next 2-3 years. City Council approved the adoption of the plan at its June 4th meeting.

 

The plan defines initiatives to be pursued in the coming years that align with the city’s five outcomes established in the Envision Littleton long-term comprehensive plan that was developed in 2019. Included in this plan are several initiatives specific to Downtown Littleton: 

Local Partnership and Stadium District 

Grant Funding Available - July 15th Deadline

Each year the Littleton City Council considers requests for discretionary grants, historically from nonprofit organizations that serve Littleton residents, and awards the grants to the organizations during the budget process. For the 2025 award cycle, the city is including distribution of Stadium District Funding as part of the same application process. 

 

Stadium District Funding was a one-time payment to the city related to the purchase of the Denver Broncos Football Club to be spent on youth activity programs. To qualify for these funds, applicants must demonstrate how their use of the funds will benefit youth activity programs in the community. 

 

Additionally, local partnership funding is no longer considering arts, culture, and tourism applications, as these applications should be directed to the arts and culture grants supported by the lodgers tax approved by voters in 2022. 

 

This is a competitive process as council always receives more requests than it has funds available.
